Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria (HI NENC) are one of our strategic partners and part of the MIC Management Group.

HI NENC have a similar vision to the NIHR Newcastle MIC and support innovation in all its forms within the NHS and social care.

They help to identify, evaluate, adopt and spread innovation across the region by working with their Member Organisations (including the NHS Trusts, Clinical Commissioning Groups and Universities).

We are partners on their Innovation Pathway, which was set up to support industry at all stages of the innovation lifecycle, from initial concept through to adoption and commercialisation. As an Innovation Pathway Partner, we work with companies supported by HI NENC to provide specialist expertise around evidence evaluation and generation.

We are partners in Diagnostics North East (DxNE) with HI NENC, and collaborate on events such as the DxNE conference.
